The 1986-87 school year got off to a great start. With the ending of the freshman initiation, everyone gathered for the Tennis Court games and dance. The games were a big success. The freshmen finally got to show that they don’t normally dress so hideously. The various classes got to- gether to plan their strategy which would decide who would prevail over the rest. This year the seniors were stronger than ever and came out on top, clobbering their opponents. As Charles Adams, Maple Hill, Kan., senior, commented, “These were the best games ever.” Many people agreed with him and also felt the dance went well. “Opening games are excellent. I think they are excit- ing. The dance could have been bet- ter if the band didn’t take as many breaks. Overall, I had a good time,” said Louis Filla, Washington, Mo., junior. The Tennis Court band was “Hush-Hush” from Leavenworth. The dance lasted from 8-11 p.m. (Story by Molly Klebba and Naru- dol Rungsubhakritanond.) Theresa Baker, Heather O’Herin, and Charles Adams try to get the crowd organized so the games can begin. Heather and Charles are the STUCO presidents from each school. Meagan Zimmerman and Patrick Quinn concentrate on passing the lifesaver. The seniors won this game and many more. 6 Tennis Court

Boarders gain maturity away from home As soon as a student leaves for school, he or she has no idea what to expect, especially if the student is a boarder. Boarding life helps one to prepare for college and increases study habits. New boarding students are usu- ally glad to find the amount of free- dom they have away from home. Homesick is something that arises among boarders. “It’s hard for foreigners like me to be away from home, but whenever I’m homesick I gather with my friends and it makes me feel better, said Armando de Alba, Zacatecas, Mexico, Senior. Liz Hardesty, Topeka, Junior said, “Living in the dorm is like hav- ing eighty sisters. You have your good times and your bad times and you get a chance to make a lot of close friends.” The life of a day student is much different than the life of a boarder. The responsibility is not as great and the freedom is much more enjoyable. Living at home gives you a lot of ad- vantages, you are near your family and you can go places more easily than a boarder. “I try to do my homework in one of two places, either in the dining room or at a table in the living room,” said Mike Gal- ley, Atchison, Senior. Jeff Gehring stacks groceries into a custom- er’s car. Jeff enjoys working at Arensberg's. Dan Prohaska works hard in the fields after school. This is just one of Dan’s many jobs. 8 Boarders
